Four B-2s conducted strikes against Iran yesterday on a round trip mission from Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo, I’m told.
Jennifer Griffin of Fox News first reported the use of the B-2s.
Start my day at 6 am, two tacos and a beer for breakfast. Run five miles in an hour. It’s now 7:30, break time. Two more tacos, one more beer, five more miles and it’s 9 am.
That leaves 21 hours to eat 20 more tacos and drink 22 beers. My only question: can I get some tortilla chips with that?

I took this video of Nine Inch Nails performing The Perfect Drug in DC on Wednesday. Trent Reznor sounded great, and drummer Josh Freese is so good he’s otherworldly. The last few seconds here are an aural and visual assault.

Was not aware of this podcast, thanks! Will check it out.
On my last trip to Ireland I visited Belfast and took a tour where I learned a lot about the Troubles and saw this very famous mural of Sands.
As an outsider I remain agnostic on the sides of that conflict, but can definitely report those people are still remembered 45 years later.
...also successfully pushed the UK govt to transfer them to a N Ireland prison. That came, however, after months of force feeding. The Prices achieved a goal in that strike, but they bore terrible physical and emotional damage afterwards.
It did force the UK government to start treating IRA prisoners as political prisoners and not standard criminals, meaning they could wear their own clothes, excused from prison work, and more such flexibilities. The 10 who died, including Sands, were seen as martyrs.
The Price sisters' strike...
At least some of the IRA hunger strikes did achieve their intended goals. The strike in which Bobby Sands died was a major PR fiasco for the Thatcher government and swelled sympathy for Sinn Fein in Northern Ireland, even among those who were not initially in favor of the Provisional IRA's approach.

National Press Club President Mark Schoeff, Jr. today issued the following statement: “The National Press Club is deeply alarmed by the arrest of journalist Don Lemon by federal agents Thursday night in Los Angeles while he was covering the Grammy Awards. Jailing a journalist for doing their job is dangerous — not only for press freedom, but for the public’s right to know. When reporters risk arrest for documenting events of public interest, the result is fewer witnesses, less accountability, and a more uninformed public. Mr. Lemon’s arrest is linked to his reporting during a Dec. 18 protest at a Minnesota church that included speaking to the pastor, members of the church and protestors. Mr. Lemon was simply practicing the core elements of constitutionally protected journalism: documenting the protest and providing context for the actions unfolding before him. He has stated he was not part of the demonstration. A magistrate judge previously declined to sign a criminal complaint related to that reporting, yet Mr. Lemon has remained subject to federal enforcement. The National Press Club is also concerned by reports that other independent journalists may have been detained in connection with this coverage. If confirmed, such actions would signal a troubling pattern of targeting journalists for newsgathering. Journalism is not a crime. Arresting or detaining journalists for covering protests, public events, or government actions represents a grave threat to press freedom and risks chilling reporting nationwide. The world is watching closely, and the implications of this case extend far beyond any one reporter.

I’m still wondering how they’ll make four movies, covering essentially the same timeline and the same four main characters, and not have them all collapse into a mush of sameness.

This may not qualify (since a good chunk of the sequence takes place in one vehicle) but the truck chase in Raiders of the Lost Ark is editing perfection.
Amazing response, I am 💀
